Elsie and the family cat have
learnt to live together!
Today, on a cold and wet day, we
met Elsie at Holkham where she had her first free run on the beach.
The sea was rough today - not an
ideal day to introduce a puppy to waves.........but she was soon enjoying
paddling in the sea - just like her mum!
She also enjoyed exploring the
dunes.
In a
"heart-stopping" moment, which tested her recall skills to the
limits, she saw three horses coming onto the beach. A simple
"No!" from Rosy was all that was needed to stop Elsie from going too
close. After watching for a few seconds she simply turned and
came back to Rosy and Katie!
Her recalls are superb!
Katie is very active in training
Elsie and is an excellent handler with calm and concise commands.
